Michigan spanked Appalachian State 52-14 in its season opener but faces a more difficult test on the road this week versus historic rival Notre Dame. This is the last scheduled meeting for these programs, and each wants to go out with a win. Because of a scheduling quirk, Michigan plays all three of its rivalry games on the road this season—and this game looks to be the most manageable. A loss to the Fighting Irish, and Brady Hoke and his Michigan Men might be looking at a long season.
